This loop has a couple of small sandy hills and then the muddy area in the low section.

This area looks like it holds water when it rains.

There is coyote poop everywhere in this park...see the bones in it? If this isn't an interesting feature, I don't know what is. :)

Heading back out of the park

There's a whole lot of really cool ant hills in all this sand.

Community building for rent...when Covid-19 isn't an issue

This is where there begins several spiderwebs of trails, this one specifically goes back over to the community building... but there's a worn path there.

This section looks like it was recently groomed and there were lots of cut branches stacked and blocking the view of the lake. Hopefully those will be removed soon.

The trail surface through here gets kinda sandy again, but is pretty well packed.
Apr 14, 2020 near Halstead, KS
So the trail is flooded and you have to go around...several of the satellite photos seems to show this as dry, so maybe it is passable in the summer. Your mileage may vary.

This is a great place to relax on the lake.

Nice fishing dock
Apr 14, 2020 near Halstead, KS
This is the walk along the lake side, very peaceful area.
Apr 14, 2020 near Halstead, KS
Lots of fishermen along this area, there's a small bench made of logs in the middle of these trees.

You can't see me... We think we identified this as a Plainbelly water snake.
Apr 14, 2020 near Halstead, KS
Someone has been busy...
Apr 14, 2020 near Halstead, KS
It was about here where we started running into water snakes. I doubt they were poisonous, they just gave us the heebie jeebies when they'd slither off into the water really quickly
Apr 14, 2020 near Halstead, KS
This section of trail was extremely soggy and it hadn't rained in a week or more.
Apr 14, 2020 near Halstead, KS
There were probably 15 people fishing the lake today, a 50 degree day in March. Must be good fishing!

The parks department told me these are wild blackberry briars! I can't wait to check these out in the summer time!

Suspension bridge over the lake to connect the parking area to the Lakeside Trail

One of the less sandy areas on the trail; the surfaces vary between this and sandy, so wear proper hiking boots.

This is a transition area from woods into a huge briar thicket! Very interesting habitat that protects small animals. I'm working to identify the briar species.

This is entering into one of the wooded areas close to the fishing lake

Another sandy area of the trail
Apr 8, 2020 near Halstead, KS
There's a mix of trail surfaces that are sandy and then loamy.
Apr 8, 2020 near Halstead, KS
The entrance to the hike is pretty sandy over the first two hills (dunes?), but there is more dirt trails after that.
